The vestry of St. Marks cathedral
met yesterday in accordance with the
special call and passed the following
resolutions of respect to Bishop Elliott:
at becomes the sad duty OF the vestry
of st. Marks cathedral to meet in sOr-
row and give an humble tribute to the
memory OF our beloved bishop, the late
Rt. Rev. r. w. B. Elliott.
ave mourn in his death the loss to
the diocese of Western Texas an elo-
quent preacher OF the gospel and an able
and faithful shepherd of the flock en-
trusted to his care. Learned, active,
energetic, firm in his convictions, vet
kind to and fOrgivlng Of the weaknesses
OF others, he administered the duties re-
quired of him with prudence and wis
dom until his benign influence extended
over the whole OF the vast country I'M

schools established therein under his
auspices attest the strength OF the man
OF Col.
"Resolyed, That the church and the
community have lost a noble Christian,
an earnest worker In the vineyard Of the
Lord, and the state of patriotic and
worthy citizen, who was beloved BY the
people OF the entire diocese, regardless
Of denominations or sect.
THAT we tender to his bereayed family
our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour
OF attiiction for the loss of a devoted
husband and an affectionate father, and
prayerfully commend them to the holy
keeping Of Him who is the husband Of
the widowed and father Of the orphaned,
That a copy OF these resolutions be
forwarded to his family and that they be
published in the press OF this city,"

Is blessing for which thousands of our dys-
peptic countrymen and women sigh in vain,
and to obtain which swallow much medicine
unavailingly. For no ailment-prObaby- are
there so many alleged remedies as for dys'
pcpsia. The man of humbug is constantly
gutted with the dollars and dimes of those
who resort TO one nOstrum after another In
the vain hope of obtaining relief, mt least,
from this veXatious and obstinate malady.
Experience indicates HOstctteT's Stomach
Bittcrs as a means of Graduating dyspepsia,
in which firm reliance can be placed. Nc
remedy has in three decades and over estab.
lshed such Il reputation, none has received
such unqualified professional sanction. II is
an admirable invigorant, because it enriches
the blood, and not only this, but IL thoroughly
regulates the bowels, kidneys and bladder
The nervous symptoms are usually relieved
by the medicine. S-l9-6t.

MUNCHAUSENISM.
Some Tough Stories Said to Hav,

Some Tough Stories Said to Have
Been Told on the Main Plaza.
1t would appear from the following,
extracted from the BlancO Star-Vindi-
Gator, that the spirit Of Tom OchiltTes
is still rampant In this state. 1t says:
"a crowd was recently sitting In front
of the Southern hotel in San Antonio
spinning their yarns when one man re-
marked 81 saw a water melon the other
day raised In Hays county that weighed
l0G pounds and when cut was green, and
not more than half grown" The man
was asked 10 "set 'em up" which he
did, and resuming the conversation a
gentleman remarked, "while down in
Caldwell county last week | saw stalk
OF corn 80 feet high containing IL well
filed ears OF corn, and several bird
nests were found under the blades" The
crowd asked this man to "set 'em up"
about three times and all went 'merry
as a marriage bell" The next speaker
a gentleman from Llano said: "Gentle-
men it's not habit with me to be out"
done by crowd OF this kind, and wish
to tell OF a beet L took
to market the other day. Az
ter taking up the beet / converted the
excavation into cistern 30X6O feet and
after doing this 1t took myself, three
sons and two hired men two weeks to
haul enough sand to fill up the space left
around the cistern wall, and gentlemen
| have number of beets much larger
than this one" A rush was made and
the LlanO gentleman had to drink with
every man In the house and In few
minutes he said: I-tell-hic-you-
hic gentlemen-hic-w beeets
--in--Llano-we-do." The Star-Vin-
dictator gives this story to show what
Texas can do during an "unheard of
drOuth."

Justice Barnes Robbed.

Justice Of the Peace Barnes stepped
out Of his office this morning for few
minutes to consult with Justice MoAl-
lister, on Soledad street, and left his
coat and vest, the latter containing his
$3.50 ohronometer watch (Which he pur-
chased while newspaper reporter) be-
sides his gold chain and monogram sea-
bean charm. During his short absence
a little negro slipped in and stole the
watch, chain, etc, and following on be-
hind the Judge tried to sell 1t to Emer-
son, but Deputy Constable Stevens see
ing the peculiar watch charm at once
recognized it as Justice b 4rnes' prop
erty and took it all away from him and
returned IL to the Judge. The negro
was then arrested for theft and will be
tried by the justice.

Second Ward Sidewalks.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 30 1885,

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 80 1887.
Editor of the LIGHT:
Noticing various hints at the cOndl-
tiOn of the second ward, rs to crossings,
sidewalks and double-barreled lungs in
your issue OF the 10Th inst, i beg to say
that think you are mistaken in refer
ing the crossing business to Alderman
Gallagher as he Is alderman at large;
but did you ever see him at large?
Surely the Beanville statesman has
not tramped much through the second
ward, which he was elected to repre-
sent living only few hundred feet from
the line of second and first ward. He
ought for convenience sake take bee
line for Lockwood's national bank
Deutsch's corner, or some other meeting
place on Commerce street for which he
cannot be blamed. Convenience, COM
fort, ETC., must be considered by such
representative OF this respectable ward.
Sidewalks are needed Oh Monterey,
East and ConchO streets as well as
on many other streets, but whose
duty is 1t to look after II? What good
will it do for this Beanville statesman to
make a note of 1t and then NOW John
son grass? What is wanted are more
sidewalks and less johnson grass.
Without doubt your efforts to improve
the Second ward by calling the attention
of the proper officials to the many de-
fects, neglect and set-backs behind other
wards must be appreciated, but they
seem to be In vain.
Commence at Commerce street, the
principal street, frst-class sidewalks
have been ordered. Where are they?
Perhaps laid too deep to find. 1t will
be difficult for the city when there is no
decent sidewalk from any railroad de-
pot to this city proper. Have these im-
provements made before you make the
attempt, and it will be better for all.
Many are willing to put down good side
walks, but what good will that do II
their neighbors do not comply with the
orders?
What Is an ordinance, law, or any
other order, If not properly enforced?
and whose duty is 1t to enforce it? Is it
the private citizens duty or that Of
paid officer who should serve the peO-
pie? He is the peoples servant, who
pay him, more for what he should do
than what he actually does.
Your future efforts of similar kinds
will be appreciated by all, and wish and
hope you will succeed. l.. w.

The Fire.

About $3.50 O'Clock last evening the
two-story frame house of Mr.. w. l..
Winter, on DignOwity hill, was discov-
cred to be on fire. The alarm was
sounded as quickly as possible and the
fire department responded with its usual
prOmptitude, but before it could get to
the scene of cOnflagration, the building
was a mass of flame and had to be left
to burn itself out.
The fire originated In the kitchen, but
how or by what means, cannot be defin-
itely ascertained. The house and the
major part Of the furniture is lost, but
the loss is somewhat covered by insur-
anCe.
The water supply on that street comes
through half inch pipe, and the pres
sure is such, that the flow of water is
slow, which fact made it next NtimpOs-
sible to make any Roadway against the
flames at the breaking out.
Prompt assistance from the neighbors
saved some of the household goods, but
all the heavy furniture and much of the
clothing has burned up.
Engine No 2 and Sunset Hose COM
pany came promptly upon the alarm,
but the nearest hydrant being located
on Pine street, two blocks away. it was
some time before they succeeded in get
ting stream on the fire, but when they
did get the water, they kept the flames
from connecting with the beautiful home
of Mr.. l.. w. Adae, on the south. He
was not at home at the time, and under
the impression that that building would
go, the front doors were forced open
and some of his parlor and library furni-
ture was carried off, greatly to its dam
age.
The house was insured in the Fire
mans Fund Insurance company, of San
Francisco, agency of K. w. Lay for
$l40O, with $500 on the furniture and
wearing apparel. An extensive library
OF valuable books and papers is among
the most important losses.

SUSPECTED as a Counterfeiter.

Glen Cotton went to Austin on Sun
day, and on arriving there, hired hack
to take him to the hotel. He paid the
hackman and went to his room. Some
time after he was told that the detec-
tives were after him and he had better
clear out. Gem answered he was Glenn
Cotton of San Antonio, If they wanted
him he would remain in Austin until
O'Clock next day. All that night the
police watched the hotel, and they
had instructions to arrest him II
he left on the early train but he didn't.
They followed him around until they
found out that he was really Glenn Cot
ton, and then the truth of the matter
came out. Recently a gang of counter
feiters were there and they were on the
lookout for them. The coin Glenn gave
the hackman looked like a counterfeit,
and they instantly came to the conclu-
sion that he was one of the gang. The
coin was indeed spurious looking one.
He got 1t at the depot here and it was af-
ter tested and found to be a good one.

from Axtel, and were engaged in horse racing.
Thompson was drinking, and commenced throw
ING his pistol around, when one barrel was dis
charged. The ball striking Mr.. Peter Sneed, passed
through both his thighs lBflictng severe, perhaps
dangerous, flesh wounds Falling TO the floor,
Sneed remarked "Doc, you've shot mel" Thomp
son replied: "Weli, take my pistol and shoot
me- at the same time holding the weapon toward
Sneed, with the muzzle pointing towards his body.
Two or three men jumped to catch the pistol, and
it went off, the ball striking Thompson in the body
Just above the right hip, and passed through him.
He fell to the floor and never spoke word and
died in few minutes.
Among the crowd at the race was one
Buck Hippin, we'll known as a horse
racer. He is brotherin. law of Sneed's, the
man who was wounded by the discharge of Dr.
bomps ms pistol. Some one said to Heppln:
"Buck, Doc Thompson, has shot Pete Sneed -"
Heppin rushed to where Thompson was lying,
picked up the pistol and struck Thompson a
glancing blow on the head. The justice of Lime
stone county held an inquest, and verdict was
returned that ThOmspon came to his death
from pistol shot wound, from pistol held ia the
hands of some one unknown to the coroner. Wit
nesses say only two shots were fired, and that they
both came from Thompsons pistol. Thompson
was well known in this city. He was good ply
sician and surgeon, and graduated with high hon
ors Finding that the city was crowded with ply
sicians, he located at AXtell where he built up a
good practice,
